The last swim meet of the year that our club has to run is over! It was a great success with over 450 swimmers competing in every event you can think of!
Here's some of the action up close that I captured with my D3, 70-200 VR lens, and an on-camera SB-800 flash. I set the camera to ISO 400, manual, f2.8, and varied the shutter speed from 1/100 to 1/250 depending on the event and the swimmer speed. The younger swimmers don't move as fast so you can get away with 1/100 second!
